Lady Stangs lose at Clyde

CLYDE — Playing its first game since the Thanks-giving break, Sweetwater led Clyde 7-6 after the first quarter on Tuesday. But a disastrous second quarter and cold shooting for the rest of the game were too much for the Lady Mustangs to overcome as Clyde — which outscored Sweetwater 21-1 in the second period — rolled to a convincing 45-19 victory.Coach Candice Wyatt said defensive pressure by Clyde that forced 28 turnovers and held Sweetwa-ter (3-4) to 18 percent shooting made the difference. “We just got out of control,” she said. “They came out in a zone press in the second quarter and we didn’t handle it well. We made too many mental mistakes tonight.”Candice Hernandez had five points to lead Sweet-water.
